We were up at 6am for mammal tracking. Not my favourite one of the week but everyone had to do something twice and we ended up with this one. Still couldn't see and tracks myself though. We had gotten back about 10 so still a solid 3 hours until lunch with nothing to do. Treated myself to some snacks and sat down with my book and puzzles. This day was going so slowly so I half packed up my things. This was the last day in Calakmul. We leave tomorrow morning.
Lunch was a weird mixture of beans, mash and rice with lemon juice. After lunch was jungle skills with John in which we were split up into 3 groups and we had to follow coordinates and the winning group get a prize. We did arrived in first but apparently missed one of the points so we were disqualified.
For the final night there were sign ups to either monkeys or birds if you wanted to got on those and I love monkeys so of course I wanted to go see some in real life! I was so fast to that sheet and my name was top of the list. It was so cool! We saw Howler monkeys and spider monkeys in the wild. Some had babies on their backs and a small juvenile was just messing about in the trees. We also saw a crocodile. Not in the tree, in a swamp.
Dinner was spaghetti again with hibiscus water. And as tonight was our last night in Calakmul we had a bonfire with marshmallows! The movie 'Shutter Island' was put on the projector in the lecture room but as I'd already seen it, I knew what was going to happen so I only watched a little bit. I got some M&Ms from Tim's Tuck Shop and ate them by the fire. I also got Pringles for tomorrows journey back up north.
I was so tired I went to bed about 10, which for this last week at camp, was extremely late!
Toodles for now.
